strict-liability offense

Read a random definition: testimonial privilege

A quick definition of strict-liability offense:

A strict-liability offense is when someone is held responsible for breaking the law, even if they didn't mean to do it. It doesn't matter if they didn't know it was against the law or if they didn't intend to break the law. This type of offense is different from other crimes where the person's intent or knowledge is taken into account.

A more thorough explanation:

A strict-liability offense is a violation of the law that does not require the prosecution to prove intent or knowledge on the part of the defendant. In other words, the defendant can be found guilty even if they did not intend to commit the offense or did not know that their actions were illegal.

  • Speeding: If a driver exceeds the posted speed limit, they can be charged with a strict-liability offense, regardless of whether they intended to break the law or not.
  • Selling alcohol to a minor: If a store clerk sells alcohol to someone under the legal drinking age, they can be charged with a strict-liability offense, even if they believed the person was of legal age.

These examples illustrate how strict-liability offenses can hold individuals accountable for their actions, even if they did not have criminal intent. This type of offense is often used in cases where public safety is a concern, such as traffic violations or selling controlled substances.
